I am not going to review the book since this is just feedback as requested by the reader.

I didn't get very far in the book. The intro parts of each chapter had a very nice tone, no tinny sounds, and standard 'speech' setting on graphic equalizer sounded fine.

Once the actual reading of the chapter started, the recording became tinny sounding and was kind of hard on the ears. I adjusted the GE but I have to admit I didn't get a setting that didn't hurt my ears. At the start of the reading of section 01, chapter 02 there was a sharp beep heard that hurt my ears. At that point I stopped.

But I will say this, you have a nice voice, you have good intonations and voice inflections. The recording just picked up an odd quality. I will keep an eye to see if the book is re-recorded. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you would like more information.

This is my first solo recording of a book so please don't be too harsh. If you have helpful advice to give it will be appreciated.
